Miss fIATCHETT' NEW SoNG.-We see
from the Charlotte Daily Hornet that a
new song, called a Think of Thee has
Just been published, the words of which
were written by Miss Mamie L. Hatchett,
Of our town, aud the music by Prof. VIM.
Baker, Of that city. The music is beauti-
fully sweet, but the words are still more
so, the Hornet says. Those who know Miss
Hatchetts ability as a writer, whether of
verse or prose. will be prepared to accept
the truth of this statement The GOLD

THANKSGIVING SERvICEs-We are re-
quested to state that there will be special
services at the Baptist church next Thurs
day, Thanksgiving Day, to be participated
in by the several pastors of the different
churches i'll town. The public cordially
invited.
It is also suggested that the various
places of business be closed during the day,
out Of respect for the occasion, it having
been set apart by the President Of the
United States and the Governor Of our State
as day of Thanksgiving and praise to AL
mighty God for His many kindnesses and
mercies to us during the past year.
Fun IN A GROCERY.-Mr Charles GUM
ness and his Comedy Company gave two
entertainments at Burwell Hall Monday
and Tuesday nights. Fun in Grocery, or
Peck's Bad Boy, was the piece rendered,
with some additional features in the way
Of spccialties- The company is Il small
one and the acting was light, but alto
getlcr they gave a very satisfactory per-
Torrance for the price of admission. A
great deal of laughter is crowded into the
entertainment, and when one plea>es an
audience enough to create laughter, much
has been accomplished. And this Mr..
Guinness and his company succeeded we'll
in doing.

Prairie Fires

The heavy growth OF grass now III
sight renders the matter of prairie
fires this summer and fall subject OF
unusual importance. As there has
heretofore been no organized effort to
prevent and control these fires. and as
what il "overyone's business has
proved to be no ones IN particular"
in seasons gone by, We take this early
date TO call upon all stockmen and
ranchmen to organize for the purpose
of guarding the range from this serious
menace.
Fires are unusually liable to give us
trouble this year for the following
reasons:
The growth OF grass Is greater than
it has been in any season for years.
\ railroad line is under construction
through the very hoart OF the range
country and where the grass is OF the
most rank growth.
We are to have flocking into this
country this summer thousands OF
stra rgers who know nothing OF this
danger. and who will not take proper
precautions even when made aware of
the same.
Therefore. we think that all OF the
live st ock associations should co OPP
crate in having stationed at a. many
points over the ran,s as practicable
such limited apparatus. such as tar
pauins, to be dragged by horses. old
+ sacking. etc, as has heretofore been
found effective in putting out prairie
fires; that everyone should be pledged
to turn out in ease OF fire within Il
certain number of miles of his range,
and not wait until he fire is upon him
and has had a start OF several days
duration before attempting to put il
out.
We believe that each and every
stock organization should make il a
point to call he attention OF the rail.
road authorities to this danger and to
our laws concerning the letting out o.
prairie fires. and should ask of the
railroad companies that they burn OF
a strip OF country before the grass gets
very drv-on either side of the track
sufficiently wide to prevent fires start
ing from locomotive sparks, and that
they aid us in bringing to justice an!
one at wori; on or around their road,
who may let out prairie fire. Ther,
should also be printed an extra mum
her of copies Of the territorial law
concerning the letting out of prairie
and forest fires. to he posted generally
bat more particularly along the lin
of construction of the new railroads
also the stock associations should or
ganize detective force that will nj,

w dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living
NcapriciOus appetite, heartburn, puzzliny
Aervous symptoms, increased action of the
heart after eating. sinking In the abdomen
between meals. and fatulence after, are
rowing complaint. Two things only are
needful for Its removal. A resort to Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters, and persistence in
ite use. These remedial measures being
adopted, cure is certain. Taken immedf-
ately before or after meals, this great stom-
achic promotes secretion Of the gastric
Juice, the natural solvent of the food. The
nervous and bilious symptoms consequent
upon chronic Indigestion disappear. as the
complaint gradually yields to the correc
tive and invlgorating influence of the Bit
ters. Appetite returns, sleep becomes more
refreshing, and as sequence, the body is
eflciently nourished, muscular power In
creases, and the mind grows sanguine.
Use the bitters for chills and fever and
